Anyone want to sell me their CFE books ?
Happy Republic Day 😊

Hello Everyone,
I am a fresher with over 9+ months of experience as a Data Engineer at Tata Consultancy .
I just needed some suggestions from you experienced folks.🙏
In my current project my colleagues have over 6+ years of experience and are not very supportive and scold me for unnecessary reasons, which is effecting my mental health.😔
Also I am not getting to learn anything.

I make them show work. If they get something wrong, I can pinpoint where and give partial credit if they were on the right track. It also shows me that it comes from them and not photomath, which has a very distinctive method for working through a problem. I’m fine with photomath as a learning help, but I need to see from them that they understand the concepts.
Always show their work. Without it, who's to say they didn't just copy the answers off someone without truly understanding it?
Math also teaches kids how to organize and present information in a logical and concise manner, so showing work gets them to practice that skill too
Sharp students can do the math in their heads up through at least two-step equations. But they can't do complicated math in their heads.
If they have never shown their work, they don't know how to show their work, and they struggle with higher maths.
Math is as much about using a process as it is about crunching numbers.
I make my kids show their work. Even if they are using the calculator, they have show me what they inputted and where, and sketch the graph(s).
No. Documenting your thinking is a real world practice in mathematics. Communication is one of the math standards. Students need to be able to discuss how they approached a problem and why and by writing it out first it makes it easier for them to discuss it with others.
I'm still team show your work. I get that kids rarely need to now, but that also means that most kids would be SOL without their calculator or phone in the real world. What happens if they lose one of those things or can no longer afford it? I think learning the concepts rather than just the equation will always be important, and showing your work is a great way to illustrate that.
No don’t pivot away they still need the practice to understand the concept
“I’ve got 99 problems … and you’re going to show your work on all of them”. My daughter had the shirt made for me. Retiring this year. Been team show your work for 41 years.
Honestly, I have found that mistakes are often made. When you don’t show your work kids will be like oh I know it’s this I’m like no it’s not because guess what you added to the both sides instead of you subtracted two from both sides and a guarantee you if they actually wrote the step down, they would’ve realize that mistake. So I honestly think that showing work actually helps students not make those simple mistakes. Also, I give a lot of partial credit and I tell kids this that if they really want to just put the answer down but if they get it wrong, they get no points that’s up to them if they at least show me the process and there’s something up a mathematical error with the process but the process itself was right. I’ll give them pretty good credit.
I make them show their work because it’s a relatively simple way to assess their level of understanding.
I make them show but I'll also let them explain. I'm not fixated on certain methods either (unless it's a kid that I KNOW has no clue and is doing something that I've never taught).
For me it is strictly dependent on the student.
All my students start out with mental math is just fine policy. However, that lasts up until there are 3 wrong answers and they cannot show me how they got there.
We go over it, correct it, and then they join the show your work club.
